ya i can, i said tucson. just like it reads. maybe you cant, you should have gone to asu. = Hater I agree though, CTG would be terrible at Texas. Terrible. They should never call him. Never, ever call him.

Mid 90's Extended cab red Chevy?

Hmmm Antmo23 was up that way and his truck matches that description but I had a buddy from a different group of people named Levi hunting the same area. Could have been a possible cross contamination. . ..

Man, that's sure a lot bigger than my first buck. Good work Noah!

Sweet buck. Congrats!

Man, that's a buck worth the wait. Congrats on a giant.

Welcome to the site. I wasn't down there but my crowd had 4 tags on the 1st hunt. Killed on WT and one forky Muley. The typical hot spots were a virtual highway, 96 ranch, Florence-Kelvin, black mountain. Lots of other places don't get much, especially on the east side. We have 4 tags on the late hunt, including myself. I am looking forward to being out with my Dad, Brother and sons.

It's quite the year you are having. Congrats on a fantastic adventure!

Forgot to thank all the members who helped you with scouting and a humble brag about how you decided to "settle" for this jack even though you had past up several legit 14"ers. Congrats on the harvest and glad to see you back in the saddle.

Wow, that is some buck. That's as pretty a 4 point as I can recall seeing. Congrats on the trophy of a lifetime and welcome to the site.

Looking forward to more pics and a story. Best of luck.

And love the Docters in the tripod.

Wow, had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure I was seeing that one right. Congrats!

Nice buck!

Dan is awesome. I wasted $300 having mine fixed in CA before having Dan take care of it. As long as the prism isn't cracked he can fix just about anything. He is well aware of the common flaw on these Nobilems (too short of a prism seat shelf) and how to fix them (he epoxy's them in place). Best $250 I ever spent. . . Other than one wild night in Mexico that I will never admit happened.

Helluva meat buck there dude.

Congrats! Bring us the pics sooner than later.

Wow! Congrats on the buck of a lifetime.

That's a shame. I have heard similar stories in the past.

I made this exact decision when I was in college in Idaho. I was rifle hunting animals from rock chucks all the way to elk and applying for moose every year. I was short on cash and had to pick a gun that could do whatever was asked of it. I bought a remington 700 bdl in .300 WM and put a leupold vari-x 3 4.5-14 B&C reticle on it. Although some day you may be backpacking into the high country I would recommend a standard weight rifle. Lite rifles in erase felt recoil, and if those hunts are once in a lifetime opportunities, my guess is you could deal with the weight. The benefit of being able to comfortably shoot the rifle for years will pay dividends on every hunt you take it on. I chose the remington 700 for one reason, it is the most common rifle in America and has a selection of accessories and after market upgrades that is un-rivaled. Each year I can take what spending cash I have and make an upgrade and slowly build a custom gun. If buying new, spend the $ right up front to rip out the garbage x-Mark trigger and throw in a timney. Good luck, I have killed every animal I have hunted with mine during the last 7 years.

I could lay down right there and take a nap as well ...

That first ram is a brute. Great work and kudos to you for the quick work.

Keep after it. Lots of time left.

I bet you could! Please don't though... I've noticed the lefty gene in a few bucks right in that area. I wouldn't dream of it.

Bet you $10 I can give GPS coord's to where that buck died. I may even have some old trail cam pics. If his left is a lot bigger than his right it's definitely the same deer. If not, same genetics.
